8. Data protection regulations on the application and use of Google Analytics

a) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, in the event of activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatories of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator.

b) The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics from your browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google.

c) You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all of the features of this website to the fullest extent possible. You may also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by using the browser plug-in available under the following link. To download and install: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

d) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". As a result, IP addresses are processed in an abbreviated form to prevent them being directly linked to a particular individual. Insofar as the data collected about you is assigned a personal reference, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

e) We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. With the acquired statistics we can improve our site and make it more interesting for you as a user.

9. General information about the duration for which the personal data are stored

We process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or due to a legal obligation. If the purpose of storage is no longer required or the prescribed storage period expires, the personal data will be routinely restricted or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

 

10. Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We clarify that the provision of personal information is in part required by law (such as tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (such as details of the contractor). Occasionally it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal information when our company enters into a contract with him/her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be closed. Prior to any provision of personal data by the data subject, the data subject must make use of the contact details referred to in subparagraph 3. Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion of the contract, if there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what would be the consequence of the failure to provide the personal data.

 

11. No automated decision-making

An automatic decision-making or profiling does not take place.
